Well, it sounds like you like it!
wink
I just put a video up here ("Cool Tech Video") about this place - which you may as well call
Waterworld LOL.
How interesting that you speak of couples holding hands while for me - I am interested in geek stuff, the infrastructure, hidden things, visual things, etc.
Which is probably good for me because the people here are assholes
(Nice man in the vid, yeah and that's why he's got that job - very personable and well spoken + decades of complex tech knowledge.) Oh, these are the type of people I seek out and associate with. And there are plenty of them too - just about every other person here is some kind of engineer or architect.
Parts of this are (from what I can see, supposedly (according to opinions on some geek forum) - the maps of this are restricted and have been pulled off the net because - terrorism
eyes2) - but - from what others have pieced together from older maps - part of this is literally right underneath me. 17.5K HP motors on the pumps Nathan! This trumps ALL! Fuck that hand holding and hippies - you ought to come to Waterworld
Well, except the people here are kinda jerks. And it's stupid fucking expensive. And congested as all fuck to where the traffic is gridlocked like 24/7. Gah. But - the
tunnels ~ The hidden things. The sky scrapers -
Otherworld ~Me and friends discuss Otherworld all the time. All the hidden things. Because we're geeks like that ha ha.
Oh and we got more reefer than you can shake a stick at
You can order it up right over the net (and yes, it is still technically illegal here.) But no one cares. You won't get pinched. At worst you'll get a ticket / small fine. You smoked some pot just lately? You should smoke more! Lots more. I smoke weed like cigs. And only the top end hydro. Yanno, the stuff with the designer names. Going rate is $25/g. For price comparison to CO LOL. Don't pay any more than that. For the 'regular' stuff it should be no more than $25 for 1/8 oz. Everybody needs to get on the Metric system already, jaysus. Anyone who talks lids, bags, dime bags - avoid. The pros with the good stuff sell by the gram.
Helpful tip
Sure you don't want to come to Waterworld? Hot and Jungle like! LOL Goes 24/7. You want the 'hard stuff' - that too.
Anything you want, you can get or experience here. I like the Big City myself.
I've been to many places, all over the world, and Chicago IS *the greatest* city on the planet. Very
Otherworldly. I feel fortunate that I was able to move here and got a good deal (housing wise.) It is
ridiculously expensive. But I like the atmosphere, all the cool scenery, and if you haven't guessed by now - I like water. Beaches, rivers, lakes, canals, swamps, bogs -
Waterworld ~(I am orig. from Lower MI which is considered 'part of' this general urban mass.)
Oh anyway I almost forgot my point of mentioning that video - you can do the same and watch things about where you might consider going. Gain more info or just see more scenery. CO is nice. I believe it was Dorisan who mentioned the air there. I don't think I could take that personally, I don't really remember. I am used to being close to sea level. It's funny too because the speaker in the vid I put up - often coughs. You might think it's due to being underground - but I find myself doing this, everyone does it all the time. Hot, dense, wet, jungle like place. You're always hacking crap up (hey Zoe, you may wanna lay off the weed
) They already have the allergy / pollen counts up on the news. Few people know this - they seem to think Chi is like NY and once they get here they are greatly surprised. It's much more modern and very hot and humid. Chi is
way better than NY. More modern. Tourists love to glomb onto you and are impressed that you
live here. Yes, it's a very cool and unusual place. Not what many envision or expect. Better, and different than what they had pictured. We get 40
Million tourists every year. It's
awesome! I feel lucky that I am able to live here. The greatest city on Earth!
If you like the Mountains and that sort of scenery - CO is a good choice. If you get a hankering for water - you will like anywhere in the US / Canadian Great Lakes region. Even for a Holiday. See something different. Tourism is HUGE all over here in Waterworld.
